Uniform Standards

The best reason to cheer the launch of the NFL season is the return of Tuesday Morning Quarterback. Gregg Easterbrook's enormously entertaining weekly look at pro football, quantum physics, cheerbabes, science fiction movies, geopolitics, and anything else that crosses his mind made its 2004-05 debut Tuesday. TMQ likes to write about uniforms, and said that of all the NFL teams that have altered their unis over the last several years, "only the Bucs, Eagles and Rams look better in their revisionist duds than those that came before." He also drooled, as usual, over the Eagles cheerleaders' unis, or lack thereof, but that's a whole 'nother story.

Speaking of uniforms, Paul Lukas has taken his Uni Watch column from Slate to ESPN.com's Page 2. His inaugural column there, explaining his general thoughts on teams' clothing, can be found here.
